Functions keys are size 10. 32 | Multi-line keys (page up/down) are centered with line spacing 0.97. 33 | 34 | Outstanding Issues 35 | ================== 36 | 37 | * The key between right command and control doesn't exist on Apple keyboards. 38 | This is currently a second fn; maybe it should be something else? If used as fn, 39 | it can be physically swapped with the control key, as they are the same size on 40 | the WASD keyboard. (both dimension R1 1x1.25) 41 | * The eject key shares F13. Should this become its own key, reducing the number 42 | of F-keys by one to F14? 43 | 44 | Included Files 45 | ============== 46 | 47 | * `custom-mac-layout.svg` The custom layout. 48 | Activate layer "Alpha Mac" to see the layout. 49 | * `wasd-inkscape-104-10.15.2014.svg` The WASD-provided keyboard template. 50 | * `wasd-keysizes.png` Key sizes used on WASD V2 104 key. 51 | 52 | Resources 53 | ========= 54 | 55 | * [Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/) 56 | * [WASD Keyboards](http://www.wasdkeyboards.com) 57 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /custom-mac-layout.png: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aasmith/mac-wasd-keyboard/6893fd31b484a14d9dc108853e72b876ba68ca48/custom-mac-layout.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /wasd-keysizes.png: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aasmith/mac-wasd-keyboard/6893fd31b484a14d9dc108853e72b876ba68ca48/wasd-keysizes.png --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
